      History

      The Ontario Department of Lands, Forests and Mines was established on April 27, 1906, replacing the Department of Lands and Mines. The title of Minister of Lands and Mines was also changed at this time to that of Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines.

      In 1920, the Bureau of Mines was elevated to Department status, becoming the Department of Mines, and a separate Minister of Mines was established. With this change, the remaining functions of the Department of Lands, Forests and Mines were continued as the Department of Lands and Forests and the Minister was renamed the Minister of Lands and Forests.
